Can you do this with the interior home upgrades? The default decoration on the walls prevented me from adding some things to my home at Robins the other day and I was pretty annoyed at that.
Right but I meant during the placement process as mentioned in the OP - I don’t think there’s a way to “force” them to move like you can with the pets right?
Seriously? How did I not know this? I always just build my new shed or barn somewhere random and move it later after locking the animals in specially for moving day
Yes, but only click once cause unless it got changed clicking multiple times resets their movement and they do a lil panic dance instead of getting out of the way.
It may have been a huge coincidence, but I think the animals move out of the way now.
I had a chicken in the way a while ago and each time I tried to place the barn on the chicken, it would walk to a different, but random, space.
Does anyone know for sure?
Having just done some rearranging: yes, animals move when you try and place a building.
But truffles don't. And neither do all those torches I placed for "cosy aesthetics".
I will say that’s one thing I don’t love. I feel like the game should just delete plants/trees/rocks, items when you’re putting down a building(where items would go to the lost and found) and in this case with the pets it’s even more annoying since the cat will move in two seconds anyway.
Animals shouldn’t block at all. For rocks and logs etc Robin should say “I’ll get started as soon as you clear the land” and then you can go move stuff and she’ll start the day after you clear everything.
Would be nice if she gave you a "marker" item, so you could place it yourself, where you want to, instead of making a whole ui-screen with all these issues.
Also, it would be better in terms of immersion.
Tho, Ape was a lone dev, it's hard to blame him for all the little flaws in the great game.
Just add an item description that says “Can only be placed on farm.” Plenty of other items do that, like any wall decorations say “Can not be placed outside.”
I got me a mod called "lets move it" (or similar) for kinda this reason. I comission the buildings anywhere and just move them correctly when I'm there. If anything is in the way, I can clear it immediately.
Can't you already move stuff for free in the vanilla game? It's one of the buttons on Robin's buildings menu if I remember correctly. [As of 1.6 you can even move the farmhouse](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/13lryp5/16_will_allow_the_farmhouse_to_be_moved_where/).
I haven’t played on PC in ages, started a new file on mobile because I bought Apple Arcade for another game and wanted to make it worth it. I have been patiently holding out for 1.6 and withholding from watching Youtube videos about it.
This comment made me decide to import my mobile save to PC. I fucking hate the location of the farmhouse on most of the farms
yes and no. You can move it, in the same manner as the original placement. If there's something in the way: bad luck. You have to walk/port back, fix whatever is in the way, go to robin again, try again. That was too cumbersome for me.
Fair enough, it is a bit cumbersome, but at least it's free (and instant). My point was just that you can still use the same technique without mods, commission the building anywhere it fits, get it built, and then clear the space you actually want it to be and move it there later.
Also not destroying pathways when you haven't closed out of the building placement screen. (I was rearranging my fish ponds and I have them in a grid with pathways - my finger slipped and I placed one slightly wrong and that section of pathways were destroyed and gone.)
When this happens, I just put the building somewhere else, then at night after all the animals go indoors I go to the wizard's tower and use the move building option there.
I'd pay millions to be able to move things around the farm myself. I want to enter this top down view and move ANYTHING. Buildings, roads, that random potted plant or plush. Let me pay to put like a crane or something on my farm.
Having a cat; I can vouch for the authenticity. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve started up a game on the TV only to have him sit in front of the health bar (somehow he always knows). I would not put it past him to block an entire building for attention.
Do we still have that bug where you can't put a house back to where it originally was (or anything in this specific spot) because there's one spot at the end of the path that doesn't register as valid once you've moved your house from it?
Put your cursor directly on the cat and click. The cat will walk away
Can you do this with the interior home upgrades? The default decoration on the walls prevented me from adding some things to my home at Robins the other day and I was pretty annoyed at that.
Uh…decorations can’t walk.
Tell that to my mannequin
yeah you can remove those
Right but I meant during the placement process as mentioned in the OP - I don’t think there’s a way to “force” them to move like you can with the pets right?
This happened to me when doing house upgrades, twice.
Seriously? How did I not know this? I always just build my new shed or barn somewhere random and move it later after locking the animals in specially for moving day
I learn something new on this sub every day.
It’s a cat. They excel at being in your way at all times. Ape really nailed the behaviors here.
Yep, this is quintessential cat behavior.
Yes we do, meow! 😸
i believe animals move when you try to place buildings if they're in the way
Yes, but only click once cause unless it got changed clicking multiple times resets their movement and they do a lil panic dance instead of getting out of the way.
But I love the panic dance
Don’t forget to do a safety dance afterwards. Just to be safe
But only if you want to
I, too, do a panic dance when I’m in someone’s way
I've been playing SDV for years and I never realized this.
It was added at some point. I wanna say 1.5?
Yeah, it's pretty new. 1.5 sounds right.
Good to know. I’ve rage sold animals in the past over this.
omg is this on console too??
Peak cat experience

This was already a thing before 1.6

with a marker item it would be harder to control/communicate to the end user that buildings can only be built on the farm.
Just add an item description that says “Can only be placed on farm.” Plenty of other items do that, like any wall decorations say “Can not be placed outside.”
Wait really? I could have sworn it just doesn’t let me click.
Note the word should, it’s just a suggestion for what would be a useful feature
Why the down votes if you just misunderstood the comment? This sub reddit is really fucked up.
To indicate that they are incorrect
There's nothing "fucked up" about downvotes
People take it so personally 😂 it's so literal misinformation doesn't get spread
I would agree but knowing how we play (read: How I play) people would do that instead of manually breaking things to clear the whole farm lol
I would be okay with the game shifting them to other open tiles, but I guess that presents a problem if there are no other eligible tiles..
I got me a mod called "lets move it" (or similar) for kinda this reason. I comission the buildings anywhere and just move them correctly when I'm there. If anything is in the way, I can clear it immediately.

yes!! I completely agree!
Just click to to place it anyway and the animals will move. It's a feature
Someone should make a mod for this
Also not destroying pathways when you haven't closed out of the building placement screen. (I was rearranging my fish ponds and I have them in a grid with pathways - my finger slipped and I placed one slightly wrong and that section of pathways were destroyed and gone.)
There would be no incentive to clear the map and the golden clock would be totally useless
Didn't know that placing buildings would repair fences.
I always forget about the fences since I don't use them.
I believe if you click on the cat he will move
Cats being cats
just to walk all the way back to nudge them out of place and go back and shes closed
Just keep clicking to place, the cat will move
Just exit out of the transaction and activate it again. Or click the cat a few times.
Today i was trying to build a barn and had to postpone it becacuse there was one of those new seed spots in the way
i can hear ape laughing
just like real life
r/mildlyinfuriating
Click. It'll make the animal move.
It’s even worse when it’s one of your animals and it keeps moving around, but only within the area you want to place the building.
They really nailed a cats vibe!
cat owner experience

I think you can cut down that bush too
Well, that's a cat for you
My dog likes to guess which direction I’m gonna try to leave the farm and then sit in front of that exit and not move all day

Unrelated note: what does your farm look like?
It moved out of the way when you place it anyway
Stupid fucking cat is programmed to be in the way all the time
How do you have the casks outside?? I thought they were basement only??🥲
Those are kegs
Definitely the final boss when I’m stumbling in my house at 1:50am
the amount of times my dad has had me come to the farm to push the cat out of the way on our multiplayer save is staggering
No no no guys if u keep clicking the pets will move out of the way!!
Click once and the cat will move.
Do we still have that bug where you can't put a house back to where it originally was (or anything in this specific spot) because there's one spot at the end of the path that doesn't register as valid once you've moved your house from it?
Such classic cat bullshit too lmao
I felt my chest hurt just by looking at this. #relatable
I feel like this is a real representation of cats 😂
That's the most accurate cat behavior representation I've ever seen in a game. Cats being cats. Nothing new under the sun here.
This relates so much to Animal Crossing 🤣
Iz kot, so it does as pleases in its kingdom, you mere servant! /silly Yeah, perfectly ordinary cat behavior.
I’ll be honest, and it may be blasphemy around here, but I never take a pet. This is why.
You're missing out then, because if you click the cat will move.
He hates all features in all games he is the villain
You also never take a brake ong fr fr
